The Pioneer Museum

The Pioneer Museum received its certificate of incorporation on April 10, 1992. On June 4, 1992 the donated Don Gray barn was moved onto the present property which was leased from the Stony Plain and District Exhibition Society. This building serves as the main display area, as well as providing the office/administration areas. Since that time a 3,000 square foot multi use facility has been added. Historical buildings moved to the site include the Brightbank United Church, the Baron barn, the Armbruster House, and the Seba Beach Cabin. In addition, considerable resources were put into improving the parking area to be used by both the Exhibition Society and the museum.Since inception, the museum has catalogued and displayed approximately 5000 artifacts. The artifacts range in size from large pieces of farm machinery to many smaller pieces which are 100 to 200 years old. Most of these items have been donated or loaned to the museum.


Here are some pictures of the museum.
